Wenty vs Tigers - Preview

Big game this weekend for Wenty if they want to continue their late charge to the Semi's.  I wish Cayless and the boys the best of luck.  Wenty are currently running 9th on 24 points (-74 for & against) with three other teams (North Sydney, Wyong & Penrith also on 24 points), where as West Tigers are running 4th on 30 points.  The final three games for Wenty are against top 4 teams (West Tigers 4th, Cutters 2nd and Mounties 1st). 

With the inclusion of Robbie Farrah for West Tigers they are probably the favourite in the Intrust Super Premiership.  West Tigers have a very strong team with Farrah, Addo-Carr, Chee Kam, Sironen, Grant and Cherrington.  Wenty have lost O'Brien to the NRL, Cornish (not listed, presumably injured in his first game back last week) and Twal returning to the Holden Cup.  Kelepi returns from injury and should value add to the pack.  With 9 Wenty Ron Massey Cup regulars it will be a very big win to knock off the West Tigers.  Good luck boys!

  • Wenty probably need to win this to make the eight, to be honest as it doesn't get any easier in the last two rounds as they play the first and second ranked teams, in Mounties and the Cutters. With Kelepi back, the pack is looking pretty strong though, so that always gives you every chance to spring an upset.

  • Matthew EISENHUTH, there's a name from the past, was a very good NYC player for us, like so many., looked the goods too, yet never kicked on

  • I reckon Semi Radradra could be a late inclusion for 1st grade. If that happen Vai Toutai will be named for wenty. I reckon Rory Obrein will be playing for wenty too
    Maybe Mitch Cornish as we'll as he didn't play last week. And was met to be back last week.
  • Trouble is that we will likely travel with a couple of extra blokes to Brisbane as travelling reserves. We might have another player drop out yet. It's been a great recent run for Wenty. Our problem was a long sequence of extremely poor matches mid season.
    • It would be good whoever is 18th Man can return back to Sydney and play but I am not sure they will make that player do this.  Although, Holden Cup players sometimes travel interstate, play and return on the same day.  If Cayless can get a win this weekend he is a great man manager and motivational speaker.  

  • POST REVIEW: 

    Just watched the recorded Fox Wenty game.  Even though Wenty lost against a very strong team lead by Farrah they tried very hard.  With North Sydney and Penrith also losing they still have a chance to make the semi's and are still on equal 7th points.  O'Brien back up after playing on Friday night with the NRL team and I think O'Brien has backed up and played on two to three occasions (very old school and I love it). 

    O'Brien, Hasson, Gorman and Tuha played well.  Gorman's attack was NRL level and I was impressed (his defence is not quite there yet).  Gorman started at hooker and then moved to a running lock position like Kaysa Pritchard and looked dangerous.  Tanginoa looked strong on his return game from injury.  Gorman was my best Wenty player followed by Mr consistent Tuha.  It would not surprise me if King is given the flick and Gorman gets a fulltime second tier contract next year.   

    As you would expect Farrah was a few levels above everybody else on the field.  Curtis Sironen, Chee Cham, Addo-Carr and Benji Marshall's young brother were very strong.
